tc328 · 02-24-2016, 04:19 PM

Why are 90% of Men shirt sleeve fit long. I have tried numerious department stores and the sleeves are all made for monkeys with arms hanging to their knees...WTF??!! I know if you want a perfect shirt you should spend some $$$ for tailor made but I just want some casual dress shirts.

Is this the norm or a new trend to roll up every shirt or are new gen male have monkey arms?

Are you shopping at hipster stores?

Mr Tonka · 02-24-2016, 04:32 PM

French cuffs?

As in are all the shirts you're looking at made with french cuffs?

Check out Uniqlo for more fitted clothing. They make some really nice shirts for the price. Their slim fits are amazing.

I use to have issue with sleeves fitting short. Now I just go to tailor get my shirts fitted.

RickFLM4 · 02-24-2016, 08:11 PM

OP, are you unusually short or something?

When you buy good shirts you get to choose the sleeve length and the neck size and then on top of that you get them tailored for $20 each to fit you perfectly. Stop buying S, M, L shirts off the rack at chain department stores and the rants will end.

I have the opposite problem. When buying a shirt, it'd be a perfect fit as far as the body is concerned but the sleeves would be too short. Until recently, Boss is the brand that makes something that fits me perfect out of the box. Now I only purchase those.

KwlAznKid · 02-25-2016, 01:03 PM

mine are actually the opposite, always too short
